The Nokia N8 hasn’t even shipped yet, and already we have a variant out in the wild being shown off on video. The Nokia RM-626, which will either be called the N9 or possibly be reclassified under the Cseries category due to the C0 marking shown on the top left hand corner of the device, looks exactly like the Nokia N8, but has a few slight differences.

First and most obvious is the keyboard. It has the same button style as the Nokia N97 and N97 Mini, which you may or may not like, but instead of having 3 rows of keys, this puppy has 4, meaning the space bar is finally where it should be. Second is the camera. The N8 has a powerful Xenon flash coupled with a huge 12 megapixel camera sensor. The RM-626 on the other hand has 8 megapixels, and LED flash. Doesn’t mean it’s going to be a bad camera … just don’t expect N8 like quality.

Other than than, not much else to say. It runs Symbian^3, so all you MeeGo/Maemo fans are going to be a little upset. Price and availability = no idea.

Check out the video after the jump for some hot leaked device action.
